In 1 Timothy 4:12, we find an exhortation from Paul to Timothy that specifies guidelines for setting a godly example. Paul writes, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.”
Unfortunately, many things we do today do not reflect godly behavior. We gossip about each other, laugh when we see our fellow brothers or sisters fail, and look the other way when someone needs help.
However, God has called us to love one another and demonstrate that love in how we speak to others and how we live in peace and harmony among our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family,
As believers, it’s vital that we live godly lives because people are watching us. When we reflect ungodly behaviors and attitudes, they don’t want to be around us.
Let us, therefore, go forth today being godly examples in our speech, conduct, love, faith and purity. May we show people the love of God within us.
God has called us to be lights in this dark world and not to blend in with the darkness. He said to let our light shine before men so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.
Be Blessed
